Resumen del Editor

Snowbirds do more than just flock.

“Stewart Johnson had worked hard his entire life to reach retirement. However, his Golden Years would prove to be more of a challenge than he anticipated after his wife passed away. Seeking to find peace of mind and warmth in Florida, Stewart became surrounded by a tribe of Snowbird residents who took him on a journey of laughter and sleuthing inside a gossip riddled community filled with the humorous dysfunction of overgrown children.”

The setting is in Central Florida and the dramatic genre of Fictional Satire Mystery Novel appeals to both young and old. With the more-alike-than-different family ancestry, we all share some of the very same quirks and ability to laugh at ourselves. It is that level of vulnerable exposure inside the mind of senior citizens that we can all relate to with humor. This book will cause the listener to laugh out loud and relate back to their own memories or current life history, not to mention an entertaining Book Club experience. This colorful story will fit perfectly on every shelf and screen.

Oh, Wake Up, Earl!™
